Senator Charles Mathias, a champion of civil rights, dead at 87

By Kevin Dayhoff January 25, 2010

Former Republican U.S. Senator Charles McCurdy (Mac) Mathias has died at the age of 87.

Although he is most remembered for his decades of fervent support for civil rights; he was also know as an advocate for the Chesapeake Bay, against the war in Vietnam, and his repeated clashes with the conservative wing of the Republican Party.

Mathias served in the U.S. House of Representatives for the 6th congressional district, which includes Carroll County, from 1961 to 1969.

Afterwards he served in the U.S. Senate until 1987. He was succeeded by Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, who still holds the seat to this day.

He was born into a politically prominent old Maryland family in Frederick on July 24, 1922, where he attended public schools and graduated from Frederick High School in 1939.

He was the son of Charles Mathias, Sr. and Theresa Trail Mathias. Several ancestors in the Mathias family had served in the Maryland General Assembly.

A recent Washington Post tribute noted, “Sen. Mathias's great-grandfather served in the Maryland legislature in the 1860s, and his grandfather was a state senator who campaigned with Theodore Roosevelt. When the future senator was a boy, his father took him to the White House to meet presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover.”

He was living in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where his family reported that he died Monday from complications of Parkinson's disease.

Mathias also served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1959 to 1960.

He graduated from Haverford College, Pennsylvania, in 1944; attended Yale University; and went on to receive a law degree from the University of Maryland in 1949

He served in the U.S. Navy, during World War II, from 1942 to 1946. After 1944, he was stationed in the Pacific Ocean theatre of the war and later in Japan, where he personally saw the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, after it was destroyed by an atomic bomb.

He returned home after the war and receiving his law degree, briefly practiced law in Frederick. He served as an assistant Maryland Attorney General from 1953 to 1954 and then moved-on to serve as the municipal attorney for the city of Frederick from 1954 to 1959.

It was while he served as the Frederick city attorney that he first developed a reputation as a stalwart advocate for civil rights.

While serving in the Maryland General Assembly in 1959, he worked hard to see that Maryland finally ratified the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Maryland had not ratified the amendment, which gave African-Americans certain rights and privileges after the Civil War, almost 90 years earlier. Maryland was one of several states that did not ratify the amendment in the 1860s.

In 1968, according to multiple sources, including a New York Times tribute: in “his first election, to the Senate … he defeated Daniel Brewster, a Democratic incumbent who was a friend and former classmate at the University of Maryland Law School. Mr. Brewster had been an usher at Mr. Mathias’s wedding in 1958, and Mr. Mathias had been godfather to Mr. Brewster’s son.”

The Washington Post noted that Mathias described “the future of the Republican Party in a 1996 interview with the Baltimore Sun, Sen. Mathias said (at that time): ‘I'd like to think there would be a place for Abraham Lincoln, a place for Theodore Roosevelt, a place for Dwight D. Eisenhower. If there's a place for them, I'd like to think I could find a small niche.’

“In 2002, Sen. Mathias announced his opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and in 2008 he wrote an article for The Washington Post endorsing the presidential candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

“Survivors include his wife of 51 years, Ann Bradford Mathias of Chevy Chase; two sons, Charles B. Mathias and Robert F. Mathias of the District. Other survivors include a sister, Theresa M. Michel of Frederick; a brother, Edward Trail Mathias of Baltimore; and two granddaughters.”

Vote Nov 6, 2001 for Joe Baldi, Frederick City Alderman

I was going through some old papers earlier today and came across this ad for Joe Baldi from November 1, 2001. It was posted on my blog here: http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2001/11/vote-nov-6-2001-for-joe-baldi-frederick.html

Since I was in Frederick last night and had dinner at Isabella’s - http://www.isabellas-tavern.com/ - and had a wonderful visit, I thought I would post it in tribute to one of the several folks who had a hand in making Frederick what it is today.

All too often, we quickly forget the work of the folks who have gone before us:

Vote Nov 6, 2001 for Joe Baldi, Frederick City Alderman

Vote Nov 6, 2001 for Joe Baldi, Frederick City Alderman: “Good People making Good Things Happen”

[20011101 Vote Joe Baldi Nov 6 2001]

Happy Days Are Here Again?
Chris Cavey
Tuesday evening I joined the Republican faithful gathered in Frederick at The Green Turtle to watch election results. While they were cheering the victory of Randy McClement, mayor-elect of Frederick City, I couldn’t help but think that perhaps the political pendulum crossed the apex and was now swinging the other way. Their way.

Looking Back Going Forward
Michael Kurtianyk
The results are in, and the voters have chosen Randy McClement over Jason Judd in the City of Frederick election. Before getting into the specifics, Congratulations are due both candidates for running a strong, civil race. Despite pressures from others, both men campaigned without slinging mud. Let’s hope the county races next year are run with the same decorum and respect.

Pulling the Plug on Maryland
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Word spread quickly through Maryland early Monday evening that the Black and Decker Manufacturing Company is “merging” with The Stanley Works. Black and Decker employees were notified by email at 4:30 P.M. of the $4.5 billion all-stock acquisition of the venerable old Maryland manufacturer.

Tom Goes Spark’in
Tom McLaughlin
Kuching, Malaysia – Being a relatively healthy male, I enjoy the company of women and learning the dating customs has been a challenge. Wandering around in my mid 50’s, yet thinking I am in my 20’s, I have met and carefully enjoyed many platonic associations.

Pushkin between the Polls
Roy Meachum
On this voting day in the city, I can almost envy Pushkin; the boy Pointer will sail through the whole democratic process unaffected. He might be inconvenienced by accompanying me to the basement of Evangelical Lutheran Church on East Church Street. Although his shank is long and his beard grizzled, he always finds admirers. No sweat.

Voting My Conscience
Steven R. Berryman
The City of Frederick elections are now upon us, so it’s time to get your voting strategy together. Those stuck at simply “voting the party line,” will be at a distinct disadvantage in our municipal election tomorrow.

On the Mayoral Race in Frederick…
Michael Kurtianyk
What an extremely cordial, civil race for mayor of the City of Frederick. This is a great breath of fresh air from the race four years ago.

Attack Politics
Roy Meachum
You may have missed the latest survey: a majority of Americans said they no longer have confidence in where their country is headed. As usual sixty-five percent disapprove of the performance by Congress. At the same time, the president’s personal rating held steady at 56 per cent – in the Wall Street Journal/NBC paid-for measurement of the national mood.

How Does Your City Grow?
Joe Charlebois
Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your city grow? Paraphrasing the old nursery rhyme gets to the point of what the future of Frederick County and its municipalities will face as it continues to grow. The quintessential issue – we as citizens of the city and/or county need to address – is how we will define growth over the next 20 to 30 thirty years.

Limbaugh, Freedom and The NFL
Derek Shackelford
Several weeks ago talk show host Rush Limbaugh garnered national headlines with his participation in an ownership group attempting to purchase the National Football League’s St. Louis Rams. Mr. Limbaugh was not going to be the majority owner just a partner in the ownership group.

Government Principles/City Elections

“The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and that Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December….” U.S. Constitution. Don’t we wish!

How much is a TRILLION?
Bill Brosius
Kinda rolls nicely off the tongue, doesn’t it? Don’t know about you but I have been having a tough time getting my head around a trillion, let alone 10 trillion; much less 40 trillion. One trillion is 1,000,000,000,000. Put a dollar sign in front and you’re talking about unreal money.

Halloween and The Snallygaster
Kevin E. Dayhoff
This Saturday is Halloween and taking break from local and national politics could not come a moment too soon.

Surprises of a 26-Hour Trip
Tom McLaughlin
Doha, Qatar – What happens if you are a small country and have billions and billions of dollars located on top of the largest gas field in the world? Building the largest most modern commercial airline on the planet is one goal.

REVIEW: Dr. Jekyll and Four Mr. Hydes
Roy Meachum
You read the column’s head right. The Maryland Ensemble Theatre is retelling Robert Louis Stevenson classic story in playwright Jeffrey Hatcher’s version; no longer is a case of schizophrenia limited to a single individual. Mr. Hatcher took “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and spread the latter’s evil among four actors, including a woman, Karen Paone.

Then There Are Five
Roy Meachum
Let me confess up front that I have been to no candidate forums and was fed stories that proved no more than flimsy rumors. This does not make me unusual in the community. What sets me apart from two-thirds of my fellow registered voters? I plan to hike over to the Evangelical Lutheran polling place next Tuesday.

Sanity: The Key to Self-Esteem
Nick Diaz
In my last article on developing sound math study habits, I referred to “procrastination” as ‘the thief of time.” I concluded that the issue of procrastination by students is not a simple one. Procrastination is a defense mechanism that protects students’ self-esteem.

Frederick Maryland Online: An Hour from Baltimore

Frederick Maryland Online calls to our attention “a nice write up about Frederick” in the New York Times.

An Hour From Baltimore

From the New York Times Travel section (NYT requires a free registration to read the original article) a nice write up about Frederick (courtesy The Frederick Chamber of Commerce Twitter feed):

An Hour From Baltimore

Echoes of Yesteryear Not Far From Baltimore

By JOSHUA KURLANTZICK

Published: November 23, 2008

DRIVING out of
Baltimore, my home, I felt like the urban sprawl of shopping centers and rows of blighted homes would never end. But less than an hour west of the city, outside Frederick, Md., strip malls gave way to strips of giant trees turning autumn crimson, and the vista opened into broad plains, rolling hills and the occasional barn. By the time I crossed Frederick’s outskirts, where I saw brick colonial-looking homes and signs for local farms, I felt I’d arrived in a place far from the megacities of the Eastern Seaboard — like the frontier, but just off Interstate 70.

For many years, in fact, Frederick was the frontier. The town grew up as a trading post along America’s first trade arteries, and in the early days of the roads Frederick was as far west as you could go without worrying about highwaymen and battles between colonials and Native Americans.
